Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 242
Lu Wanning's life hasn't changed much since she was promoted to the throne. She still takes the four princesses to pay her respects to the queen mother every day. In normal time, she either spends time in her own palace mixing incense, playing the piano, and practicing calligraphy, or takes the four princesses to the Imperial Palace. Take a walk in the garden.

Today, when Lu Wanning went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, she happened to run into the mother's house of the Empress Dowager, the emperor's natal family, and the wife of An Guogong's mansion entered the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

As the emperor's kinsman, An Guogong's mansion actually doesn't have much real power in its hands except for the title of a Duke.

This is not to say that the emperor does not value his own family and suppresses it on purpose, but that the Duke of Anguo's mansion has always had a difficult time with offspring. There are two brothers and sisters of the empress dowager.

When it came to the generation of An Guogong's son, Mrs. An Guogong only gave birth to An Guogong's son, and the An Guogong's son was born weak. Mrs. An Guogong was worried that if her son had an extinct son, she would also make the decision. An Guogong took several concubines who were easy to bear, but none of these concubines conceived.

This is also the reason why there are so many concubines in the palace, but none of them came from An Guogong's mansion.

Because even if An Guo Gongfu wants to send a girl to the palace, there is no girl to send.

But what no one expected was that although An Guogong's son was weak, he was much stronger than his father and grandfather in terms of heirs.

Due to his frailty and sickness, the son of An Guogong has reached the age of marriage, but few daughters of aristocratic families are willing to marry him.

If Luo Chengjing had already ascended the throne at that time, there might be someone who would be willing to marry An Guogong's son because of this, but at that time the emperor was still a prince, and the late emperor's attitude was ambiguous, so of course no one was willing to take the risk.

In the end, Mrs. An Guo could only focus on the family of a small official with a poor family background.

After An Guogong's selection, he chose the daughter of the prime minister of Dali Temple at that time as the wife of Anguogong's son.

Although the daughter of the Chancellor of Dali Temple has no obvious family background, she is gentle and quiet, well-educated and reasonable. After marrying the son of Duke Anguo, she does not dislike the son of Duke Anguo because he is weak and cannot be an official in the court. The husband and wife respect each other and have a good relationship , An Guogong's son also rejected the concubine given to him by An Guogong's wife for the sake of his wife.

Mrs. An Guo was very dissatisfied with this at the beginning. She thought that the heirs of the family of An Guogong would be difficult, and the sons of An Guogong were still unwilling to take concubines. Isn't this to make An Guogong have no heirs?

But the prince of An Guogong was determined not to accept a concubine, and An Guogong and Mrs. An Guogong were not as stubborn as the prince of An Guogong, so they could only let the matter go.

Without the concubine in the middle, the relationship between An Guogong's son and his wife became better. Two years after they got married, An Guogong's wife was pregnant and gave birth to a big fat boy safely.

This made An Guogong and An Guogong's wife greatly relieved, and after having this child, An Guogong's wife no longer cared whether An Guogong's son took a concubine or not.

This also made Mrs. An Guogong's wife greatly relieved. Originally, after having this child, everyone in the An Guogong's mansion was satisfied, but who would have thought that three years later, Mrs. An's Mrs. Wang would be pregnant again.

This time, the baby was still a son, which made the whole family of An Guogong's family very happy, and Mrs. An Guogong even regarded Mrs. Shizi as a lucky star.

After giving birth to the second son, there was no news about Mrs. An Guogong's wife. An Guogong's family has always had few heirs, and it is not easy to have these two grandchildren. Therefore, although the whole family of An Guogong's family felt regretful, they did not criticize Mrs. Shizi.

Mrs. An Guogong Shizi is 34 years old this year, and she has already given up hope of getting pregnant, but she was suddenly diagnosed by a doctor a while ago, which can be regarded as a surprise.

Anguogong's mansion was overjoyed, not long after the child sat down for three months, Mrs. An Guogong rushed into the palace to announce the good news to the empress dowager.

"This is really a good thing." The queen mother said happily: "Ms. Yu is a blessed one, but she is old after all, you should pay more attention during this pregnancy. If there is something missing in the future, you will let people enter the palace and mourn the family. Say."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Mrs. An Guogong thanked her and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is that Mrs. Yu is indeed a blessed one. Although she is over 30 this year, the doctor said that she is in good health. As long as this child is a little bit more careful, you should have a baby." There is no problem."

"That's good, that's good." The queen mother said.

Mrs. An Guogong said with a smile: "If Mrs. Yu can add a younger brother to Mao'an and Maoxing this time, he will really be a great hero to our An Guogong's mansion."

Mrs. An Guo finished speaking, glanced at the fourth princess who was being held by the queen mother, and said with a smile: "But it is good to have a younger sister, if you can have a lovely granddaughter like the fourth princess, look at it every day." It’s also enjoyable to wear.”

"Hahaha." The queen mother said with a smile: "Whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter, having children is a good thing."

After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother asked Su Maoan and Su Maoxing again.

"Mao'an and Maoxing haven't entered the palace for a while, how is the homework of the two of them during this time, can they work?"

Mrs. An Guogong talked about her two grandchildren with a smile on her face.

"The Empress Dowager Lao remembers that Mao'an is quite diligent in his homework, and he is often praised by his master. This year he wanted to give it a try, but his grandfather stopped him, saying that he is too young now, so let him use it again. Study for two years, lay a solid foundation before leaving the game, because of this, this kid has been having trouble with his grandfather during this period of time."

"Mao Xing has a lively personality, and he is always restless in his studies. I'm afraid he can't compare to his brother in homework."

The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "You can also tell me about your elder brother later on. The two children, Mao'an and Maoxing, are smart and sensible. Don't be too demanding on them."

The Empress Dowager and Mrs. An Guogong's children talked about the two children's homework problems. Lu Wanning, who was sitting by the side as a companion, had a smile on her face and seemed to be listening carefully, but her thoughts had already gone far away.

Just now when Mrs. An Guogong said that it was the end, she remembered that it was almost September, and Lu Simo should have finished the exam, and she didn't know how he did in the exam.

Lu Simo is sixteen this year. If he can be admitted as a scholar this year and a judge next year, he will be able to participate in the general examination the year after.

After passing the exam, he can enter the court as an official.

In fact, with Lu Wanning's current level of favor, she could ask for an official for Lu Simo.

Earlier, Luo Chengjing also implicitly expressed that he could directly give Lu Simo an official position.
